Women Squirting

QUIRTING CAN BE FUN  A short history of female ejaculation and squirting

In 2010, urologist Joanna Korda and her colleagues combed through translations of ancient literary texts and plucked out multiple references to the ejaculation of sexual fluids..

The Kamasutra (written in 200–400 A.D.) speaks of “female semen” that “falls continually,” while a 4th-century Taoist text, “Secret Instructions Concerning the Jade Chamber,” distinguishes between “slippery vagina” and “the genitals transmit fluid.” Korda and her coauthors reasoned that the latter can clearly be interpreted as female ejaculation (1).

Until recently, researchers and laypeople alike have used the terms “female ejaculation” and “squirting” interchangeably to describe an involuntary emission of fluid from the vulva.

What exactly is “squirting”?

During sex, some people with vulvas experience the involuntary release or gushing of about 10 ml or more of clear fluid, usually during orgasm or high arousal. This has become known as “squirting.”

“Squirting has been getting a lot of attention in recent years. Accurate information and conversation about the sexual realities of female-assigned folks—whose bodies are still often subject to myth and mystery—is fantastic. That said, squirting is sometimes presented as something to “achieve” or an essential part of being sexually liberated. That creates a lot of unnecessary pressure!” Some people feel squirting is a party trick they’re expected to perform, but what about those who find it empowering?

Squirting controversy: Isn’t it just urine?

In 2014, female ejaculation was banned from UK-produced pornography. The ban was met with considerable protest , as it implies that ejaculation from a vulva is somehow perverse while ejaculation from a penis is completely normal. Apparently, censors found it hard to tell the difference between female ejaculation, squirting, and urination, which is considered an “obscene” pornographic act. The large volume of clear fluid (sometimes up to hundreds of milliliters!) released in squirting has been found to be wet and messy just how we like it. Sounds familiar!!
